Playing time analysis.

The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis.

OFFENSE

  • Eagles players who’ve played 100% of the offensive snaps in a Super Bowl win: Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Nick Foles, Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, and Jason Kelce.
  • Dickerson played the entire night despite dealing a knee injury that prevented him from playing in the second half of the NFC Championship Game.
  • Johnson and Cam Jurgens were able to leave early with the Eagles having such a large lead.
  • Jalen Hurts gave way to Kenny Pickett in garbage time. Pickett’s sole pass was a fourth down throw that went incomplete.
  • A.J. Brown led Eagles receiving options in playing time. He caught three of his five targets for 43 yards and one touchdown. He had a 32-yard gain wiped out by a weak offensive pass interference penalty call on the Eagles’ first drive.
  • Dallas Goedert only saw two targets but he caught both of them for 27 yards. Low usage, high efficiency.
  • Mekhi Becton missed some snaps due to a knee injury but was able to return. Tyler Steen briefly filled in for him at right guard.
  • Saquon Barkley actually led the Eagles in targets with seven. The Chiefs were clearly committed to stopping him ... at the expense of making things easier for the rest of Philly’s offense. Whoops!
  • DeVonta Smith led the Eagles in receiving yards with 69. Nice.
  • Jahan Dotson caught two of his three targets for 42 yards. That’s his highest yardage total as an Eagle in a game started by Jalen Hurts. The previous mark was 36, which came on one catch in Week 9.
  • Grant Calcaterra logged just one target in four playoff games; a four-yard grab in the Wild Card round.
  • Parris Campbell didn’t play on offense in the Eagles’ first two playoff games but he saw some snaps in the last two.
  • Kenny Gainwell logged six carries for just 10 yards against the Chiefs. Three of them came when the Eagles were running clock on their penultimate drive.
  • Johnny Wilson dropped his sole target, which would’ve been a short gain if caught.
  • Fred Johnson finished the game at right tackle while Brett Toth finished it out at center.
  • E.J. Jenkins saw some garbage time action as TE3. Ditto for Will Shipley as RB3. Shipley also played the most ST snaps of any Eagle.
  • Khari Blasingame saw a few snaps as a fullback.

DEFENSE

  • Eagles players who’ve played 100% of the defensive snaps in a Super Bowl win: Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod, Jalen Mills, Ronald Darby, and Nigel Bradham.
  • Oren Burks was closest to joining that club.
  • Zack Baun led the Eagles in tackles and had a great awesome diving pick. The dude made at least one big impact...
